This
Italian restaurant was
started by and named for Matilda T. Smith on March 1, 1962, when
"Tillie" purchased Portner's
Restaurant. Known for its made fresh daily sauces and hand made pastas,
including its famous ravioli, Tillie's Restaurant is a dining landmark
in McKeesport and throughout Western Pennsylvania.

Angelo Teti
continues the traditions of great Italian food and good service started
by his Mom.

In
1979, Tillie retired and
passed the reins of the family business on to son Angelo Teti. Angelo,
along with wife, the former Phyllis Whitaker, continue the strong
traditions that his mother started, including most of the menu items
his mother had, including spaghetti, gnocchi, lasagna, ravioli and
pizza (Tillie was one of the first to sell thick-crust pizza in the
area, back in 1947!).

Phyllis
Whitaker Teti has become a prime factor in the continued success of the
restaurant.
